Thoughts for the day

Another nice warm spring day. Nice!

Native American Tribes That Dominated History

Apache

The Apache tribes, scattered across the Southwestern deserts and mountains, were known for their guerrilla warfare tactics. Skilled in navigating harsh environments, they adapted to the challenges of survival with remarkable agility.

Their resistance against Spanish, Mexican, and later U.S. forces showcased their determination and resilience. Apache society was organized into various bands, each led by warriors who were adept in both combat and survival skills.

Their ability to blend into the landscape and use it to their advantage marked them as formidable opponents. Their legacy is one of fierce independence and tenacity.

Misunderstood History…

The Emancipation Proclamation Didn’t Free All Slaves

Lincoln’s 1863 order only applied to Confederate states, not border states or Union-controlled areas. Slavery remained legal in some places until the 13th Amendment in 1865.
The proclamation was more of a wartime strategy than a full abolition.
